今天国内第一搜索百度的CEO写了一篇博客，说是从美国访问回来的感觉，报纸要淘汰了。
不知道会不会有那么悬，个人觉得报纸真正要淘汰的日子还有一段时间。
不过我是没看过什么报纸了。在国外，黑莓，iPhone是年轻人必须的工具，和日用品差不多了，看新闻可以用手机看。在地铁上，年轻人都翻看黑莓或iPhone, 不是看新闻，就是写邮件，还有玩游戏的。
当地老外的报纸隔几天就来推销一下，很烦，没有理睬。免费的报纸都懒得翻一下。
李彦宏说的如下：
美国：唯一不变的是变化
2009-09-12 10:24
这次来美国，感受到的一些变化：
电视节目基本都高清了，这个国内还不行
报纸变薄了，广告没那么多了，毕竟经济还没有走出低谷，而报纸作为一个媒体，已经到了要被淘汰的边缘
已经十几年没有踏足D.C.，美国的首都是不会变的，只不过上次来的时候，是站在地上，仰视白宫，这次来是站在白宫边上的酒店里，俯视白宫，呵呵。
Google China President KaiFu Lee has left Google.
Report from here:
Google is continuing to bleed high-level executives and, this time, it is Google China’s turn. The Internet giant has announced that the company’s Head of Operations in the country, Kai-Fu Lee, will resign from his position to pursue other interests. Two executives in the company will take over Lee’s roles, Boon-Lock Yeo, who is now working as director of Google’s Shanghai engineering office, will take over the engineering department, and John Liu, VP of sales and operations, will assume the business and operations side.
“Kai-Fu has made an enormous contribution to Google over the last four years — helping dramatically to improve the quality and range of services that we offer in China and ensuring that we continue to innovate on the Web for the benefit of users and advertisers,” Alan Eustace, senior VP of engineering, says in a statement.
Lee joined Google in 2005, after leaving Microsoft’s operations in the country. This prompted Microsoft to file a suit against Lee and Google for allegedly breaching a one-year agreement that prevented him to work for a competitor. Google then filed a countersuit in a Californian court. The two companies settled in December 2005, without disclosing the terms of the agreement.
At Google China, Lee worked to establish the company in the market and has seen it grow at a very healthy pace for the past years. He was also responsible for launching the Google.cn website, the search engine’s regional version, while also strengthening the company’s team of engineers and scientists in the country. Still, Google is far behind the country’s number-one search engine, Baidu, and has also been criticized for complying with the government’s censorship requests.
“With a very strong leadership team in place, it seemed a very good moment for me to move to the next chapter in my career,” Lee shares in a statement. He will go on to start his own company in an unspecified field.
News from nydailynews:
After months of rumors and speculation, Yahoo and Microsoft on Wednesday announced a 10-year search deal that the two companies positioned as a means to create innovation in the search market – and an effective way to battle Google.
Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft will power Yahoo’s search site while Yahoo will manage the sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers.
